Text input widget for urwid that supports readline shortcuts.
Installation
pip install urwid-readline
Example how to use the program can be found in the examples directory.
Development
Please ensure pull requests pass CI, which requires your code to be formatted
with black . and tests to pass via pytest.
Both tools can be installed with the dev extra install option; such an
install from a local git repo reflecting the code (ie. 'editable'), ideally in
a python virtual environment, can be achieved through a command like
python3 -m pip install --editable .[dev].
